You’ve never heard of Independent Bookstore Day? Well, neither had we, but East End Books Ptown, at 389 Commercial St., is certainly turning it into a memorable occasion this Saturday, April 29, with a full afternoon worth of readings and book signings by authors both local and visiting. Truro poet Keith Althaus kicks off the proceedings with a reading from his new book, “Cold Storage,” at 2 p.m.; his wife, artist and author Susan Baker (“Provincetown Dogs”), follows at 2:30 p.m.; Wellfleet poet and painter Julia Salinger will read from “When I Awoke” at 3 p.m. and have art on display; Provincetown author Frank Muzzy will read from works past and not-yet-published at 3:30 p.m.; Tricia Cohen and Lisa Graves will read from their new cookbook, “A Thyme and Place: Medieval Feasts and Recipes for the Modern Table,” at 4 p.m.; Neil Silberblatt, host of WOMR’s Poets’ Corner, will read from his work at 4:30 p.m.; and Jeannette de Beauvoir will read from her new novel, “Our Lady of the Dunes,” at 5 p.m. This is a free event.
